Michael John Neill's genealogy website. Things that cross my path, general research suggestions, and whatever else ...with a little bit of attitude. I don't post "news" just to post it, never post a press release (edited or otherwise), don't feign excitement, and pretty much say what I think.

Alfred Butler Pension Card

I have always been a big fan of the pension payment cards from the National Archives. More specifically, these cards are the Organization Index to Pension Files of Veterans Who Served Between 1861 and 1900 (NARA T289.).

We'll be discussing Alfred Butler in an upcoming issue of Casefile Clues. I think he is a possible son of the Benjamin Butler who in 1870 is in Davis County, Iowa, and later in Vernon County, Missouri. I'm not yet entirely certain.
